No, You Won't Need PlayStation Plus For Remote Play

"It is currently spreading around the web that a PS+ subscription will be required in order for you to make use of the PS4 and Vita’s Remote Play features, which seems like a massive drawback since it’s such a core feature.

This is exactly why I am buying a PS4. Anyone can deliver a false message and hold off on saying anything until a person buys their product.

The sign of a great company is information up front and all of what is said is backed up by actions that say, "yes, we understand what our consumers want and we will provide that service for you without any strings attached."

Sony really knows not only how to create a console, but also how to deliver it to its consumers.

Hey Microsoft, you paying attention and taking some notes? Take a break from deleting disparaging comments from your Youtube videos and buying an audience for your next conference and try to learn something.

the only bad news is what xbots are saying....they say indes are bad..O_o. according to them im love bad things...rime is my top want right now..im hooked on spelunkie, I praise journey, I almost shed a tear for walking dead, had a wonderful time killing many in hotline miami, and was in awe at the art style in limbo......smh people kill me when thet xall themselves gamers but wanna say indies are trash....smh

@ Addictive: Help us understand what there is to be in denial about. One has enjoyed, as mentioned, a tidal wave of positive news. The other, has stumbled more than I've ever seen any company stumble in this industry.

Hint: surely there's denial, but it stems from the source that claimed it.

Ok, so if you need Playstion Plus to use Remote Play it would only be required for online games that has online remote play interactions from a PS4 game. Remote play is free. Keep in mind, PS3 and Vita online will remain free. Only PS4 multiplayer requires Plus unless its a Free to Play game.

To clarify....Take Battlefield 4, if it had the ability to use the Vita as a map in multiplayer through remote play (Not Confirmed, just an example) you will need Playstation Plus because of BF4 multiplayer, not for remote play. Remote play is free.

hmm, would we be able to remote play games with MP? You know how you can play almost every ps4 game on the ps vita? Well, isn't vita mp free? Would you be able to play mp on vita with people on ps4, via remote play?

its only obvious....just think....remote play is to play a PS4 game using a PSVita...so yeah its still a ps4 game which need plus to run online...if it was a vita game made for the vita as in downloaded or a cart it woukd be free....why is that so hard to understand...I know people wanna exploit but dam...Sony's not dumb....well.. anymore. lol (what I mean by that is the gameshareing exploit before they brought it down to 2)

It makes no sense for PS+ to be required for this feature since it's a direct connection between the PS4 and the Vita. I would have never thought in a million years that you'd need PS+ to do this and it's basically a moot point.
